Sans Souci Literary Institute

The Sans Souci Literary Institute is located along Ramsgate Road in the southern suburb of Sans Souci. It was built in 1920 in the Federation architectural style as a community building with a library, meeting room, kitchen, office and two small halls. It was a place where where billiards, housie or bingo was played and dances were held. The hall is still used as a community centre.

I have tried to visit and photograph as many of the Mechanics' Institutes all around SE Australia as I can. Sans Souci Literary Institute sounds very similar, in both function and architectural appearance.
